U.N. Secretary: Rise of Nationalism Threatens Fight Against Climate Change
Breitbart News ^ | November 29, 2018 | Penny Starr

Posted on 11/30/2018 3:08:03 AM PST by familyop

United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Thursday...“I think that it is clear to me that the world is more polarized. We have more and more nationalist approaches being popular and winning election or having strong election results,” Guterres said. “We see the trust between public opinions and institutions — governments, political establishments but also International organization … being eroded.”

Go after the filth burners first. The Chinese burn un-scrubbed coal. All our commercial stacks are, by law, scrubbed. Our cars produce clean emissions by comparison to others. Places like China and the third world need UN regulation not western nations.

But who cares. The UN has gone rogue. Time to get out.

I think it’s because Trump keeps calling himself a “nationalist”.

Of course, then the lefties change it into him being a “WHITE nationalist”.

Basically, it’s a slander against the right.

Rise in nationalism?

Has this yard-bird ever read a little world history?

Like the last 100 years.

Nationalism today is probably at a 100 year low point.

Compare Europe today with Europe before 1993.

Compare Germany today with Germany before the turn of the century.

China’s haven’t.

28 Nov: Washington Times: Obama official helped prepare dire National Climate Assessment
By Valerie Richardson
A former Obama administration official with ties to a liberal advocacy group funded by Democratic megadonors George Soros and Tom Steyer helped prepare the Fourth National Climate Assessment, whose dire predictions have since been attacked as overblown.

Andrew Light, who worked on the 2015 Paris accord negotiations as a senior adviser to the U.S. Special Envoy on Climate Change under Secretary of State John F. Kerry, served as a review editor for the assessment, overseeing the pivotal final chapter that concluded under a worst-case scenario that global warming could wipe out as much as 10 percent of the U.S. economy by 2100.

Now a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute, Mr. Light also spent five years as senior fellow and director of international climate policy at the Center for American Progress, which was founded and now led by longtime Democratic insider John Podesta. The center is also financed by liberal billionaires such as Mr. Soros and Mr. Steyer…

28 Nov: Daily Caller: James Taylor: OPINION: Obama-Era Holdovers Issue Fake News Climate Report
(James Taylor is senior fellow for environment and climate policy at The Heartland Institute)
Obama-era deep-state bureaucrats have issued a dubious climate report that warns of imminent devastation from global warming. The report presents discredited assertions from environmental activist groups as “evidence” to support its findings, as well as predictions of temperature change and extreme weather events that have already been contradicted by real-world data...

The USGCRP’s steering committee and authors are composed almost entirely of Obama-era deep-state holdovers. The two lead authors for the report — prominent, controversial global warming activists Don Wuebbles and Katherine Hayhoe — were put in place by the Obama administration...

The report is saturated with discredited fake news assertions on climate science and economics. For example...READ ON

Duh! Of course nationalism deflates the global warming campaign. What do you think global means? When nations are made weaker globalists are made stronger. Obviously the opposite is also true.
Want to end global warming? End globalist power. Strengthen the nation state.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

We blot out the sun. Harvard and MIT figured out a way to do it. We can bring on a global winter and destroy our planet in the name of saving it.

"And there you have it, “climate change” is code for “global communism”. It just fits like a glove."

You bet. That's why most climate change accords and summits end up primarily pushing massive wealth transfers to third world countries and doing very little to deal with "climate".

“What freaking purpose does the UN even serve ?”

The UN is the elite’s “army,” which has mastered the military strategies of retreat and surrender. That’s good for us.

Climate Change is nothing but a scam to take money from the US for the UN to “redistribute”.

The UN has exceeded its shelf life.

The intent is to marry up like sounding words and phases to change the meaning of them.

In this case, the intent is to marry up "nationalist" with "supremacist". (There is an "-ist" suffix in there so the low IQ will light up big time.

No confusion on my part. I got the intent of the UN press release. I should have used the /sarc/ tag.

Amen. Long past time we told them to vacate the premises.

Mr. Trump should propose tearing down UN HQ and replacing it with affordable housing. Set some Liberal heads exploding.
